    All,

    Sympathetic vibration being a fact of life for us, has anyone considered the affect of string gauge? Specifically, assuming all other things are equal, will the amount of induced vibration on a "neighbor string" be greater as you increase/decrease relative string gauge? Or lesser...?

    Or, is this an irrelevant question since sympathetic vibration is purely dictated by frequency, not string gauge?

    Thanks,

    A2

    It's an irrelevant question because you should have better muting technique.
